Economic planning knowledge is critical to the operation of health care systems and the development of public health care policy, making graduates with expertise in both business and biomedical science highly sought after. Graduates of this double degree will have specialised skills and knowledge for work as health economists in the health services industry.
Monash students can also use their grounding in both disciplines to pursue further postgraduate studies or research in either the business or biomedical fields.
The combination of economics and biomedical science makes graduates highly employable. Graduates are ideally placed to work as health economists in the public and private health service industries.

Econometrics and business statistics involves the extraction of information from data. It comprises a set of tools for analysing data using economic theories or computer based statistical models. Econometric analysis provides informed support for business and economic decision making.
Economics considers how to allocate scarce resources to maximise people's welfare. Microeconomics examines decisions of individuals, business and government, and the structure of industries and markets. Macroeconomics examines behaviour of the economy as a whole, such as economic growth, inflation and unemployment.
